The NowSecure team is gearing up for an incredible week at Black Hat USA 2019 in Las Vegas. We’re excited to join the 22nd annual top security event to connect on all things mobile app security research, development, tools and trends.
To help you build your agenda and make the most of your time at the conference, we’ve selected several key Black Hat briefings that focus on mobile device security, enterprise mobile appsec, DevSecOps and reverse engineering. We look forward to connecting many of you with our mobile application security experts at the conference through prebooked meetings and visits to Booth #674.
Mobile app security professionals who connect and engage with the broader mobile appsec community can amplify their efforts and learn from each other. Combined, the NowSecure services team members have pen tested thousands of mobile apps. They share three key best practices for mobile app pen testing that practitioners can adopt to meet their organizations’ needs.
Last week open-source software experts, mobile application DevSecOps leaders and practitioners and federal government specialists convened in Washington, D.C., at the first annual NowSecure Connect conference. The purpose of #Connect19 was to connect people, ideas, and technology by bringing together the top global technologists and industry thought leaders with a shared passion for delivering secure mobile apps at scale. At the end of the event, our goal was to ensure everyone walked away from the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health with new knowledge, insights and professional connections with peers.
While some organizations and executives may not be fully aware of all the threats to their mobile applications, the risks are real and growing. Vulnerabilities arise from code flaws, encryption errors, unsecured data transmission or data exposure. Looking back at the top five mobile breaches that have occurred over the past year helps drive home the importance of mobile application security.
With most online traffic shifting to mobile, organizations are at risk of data loss due to risky mobile apps that have security and privacy vulnerabilities. Consult this infographic to see potential threats in mobile app code functionality, data at rest and data in motion and how to identify them with mobile appsec testing.
As DevSecOps takes hold in organizations, there’s a noticeable difference in maturity of application security testing practices for mobile apps vs. web. NowSecure sought to understand the role of DevSecOps in the mobile application development lifecycle by polling IT leaders about their release and testing practices. Consult this infographic to see how your organization stacks up against your peers and the top benefits companies have achieved by incorporating security testing into mobile DevOps.
